8 TIPS FOR
HEALTHIER TEETH
Did you know? Soft bristles on tooth brushes are better. They don't erode the enamel on your teeth.
Ignore the shape ofToothbrush handles. They have little to no effect onoverall results.
Electric brushes aren‘t necessarily better. They might be easier to use, but there's no data showing that they clean any better.
Replace brushes after you're sick. They can harbor bacteriaand re-infect you at a later time.
Sugar free gum helps! Chewing sugar free gum washes away plaque acid, leading to healthier teeth.
Brushing with baking soda? Brushing with baking soda releases free radicals that combine with stains to break them down. It also freshens breath and removes Plaque.
Trouble flossing? When flossing, use a zig zag motion with your floss, contour the floss around the side of your tooth, and always try o use a clean section of floss.
Oh, no! Not my tooth! If you get your tooth knocked out, put it in milk and hold it in your mouth. This will help your tooth to survive longer. Make sure you see a dentist right away.
